Abstract

A laser driver includes a programmable damping resistor that provides an adjustable damping resistance to improve a laser light output response. The laser driver can also includes a controller that is adapted to adjust the programmable damping resistor based on an input signal. Such an input signal can, for example, specify characteristics of a driven load, components that make up the load, or the like. The controller can then determine and select a desirable damping resistance based on the provided input.
